Dear Educators: We understand how challenging it is to maintain a culture of college readiness in your school. That’s why each year we produce a new set of counseling resources that are among the most trusted in the industry. We hope they’ll be useful to both you and your students. As you may know, in the past two years we’ve launched a new SAT® as well as a redesigned PSAT/NMSQT®, PSAT™ 10 (which is the same program as the PSAT/NMSQT), and PSAT™ 8/9. These assessments are closely aligned to the work students are doing in the classroom, focus on what matters most for college and career readiness, and make it easier for students to show their best work. To support student practice, we've doubled the number of practice SAT tests in The Official SAT Study Guide™ from four to eight, each compiled from actual test items selected from the official item pool. Practice opportunities for SAT Subject Tests™ have also expanded this year with new study guides for biology, chemistry, and physics, as well as separately revised guides for each of the math and history subjects. As always, the 2018 editions of our annual college guides, such as the College Handbook and Book of Majors, will help open the doors to your students’ college search. The College Application Essay and the newly revised Get It Together for College will steer students through the college application process. The 2018 editions of Getting Financial Aid, the Scholarship Handbook, and the CLEP Official Study Guide will help students discover available funding options and explore the possibility of credit through exams. All of these resources will enable you to provide students the most current and accurate data and test information available. We look forward to continue working with you to clear a path for all students to succeed in college.

Sincerely,

The College Board
